Utilization of Hard Drive During Backup
I have been getting low disk warnings on my hard drive (desktop c:\drive). Last time this happened, I cleared up a bit of space and was thinking about re-installing all my software. The next day, half my c:\ drive had about 40% free capacity. Slapped my forehead with the palm of my hand and went to back to work thinking that windows cleaned up something when I rebooted. I got another warning today (several actually). This time I noticed acronis running in my system tray about ( 80% complete) I can't tell right now whether it is backing up to my USB drive or to the Acronis Cloud.
Does Acronis create temp files on the hard drive being back up as it is doing it's thing? If so, can I mitigate? If not, how can I figure out what is bloating. It isn't obvious to me when do disk clean up (win7) and search windows explorer?
HELP!

I let the Acronis job complete and it didn't release space on my local drive. I did, however, delete restore points in the Win & System Protection area and a miracle occured and I got my HD back! I turned off VSS in the job control script you mentioned in your suggest and reduced the amount of size that VSS can sieze. I will monitor but so for it looks like you had the magic. Thank you, Jon
